The artisans of Aashiyana Cooperative navigate complex cultural and religious dynamics within both their group and community. Some women face restrictions on working outside the home, making recruitment difficult. Despite these challenges, the group continues to strengthen its sewing skills, expand production capacity, and adapt to meet the needs of its members and MarketPlace.
